|

Hello everyone!!!
Finally got around to registering! Daedra has been going on about you guys/gals/.... for ages! I'm 21, currently studying Marketing in Canterbury, I've been spinning for nearly 4 years now, juggling for about 3 1/2, and I've almost taught myself to fishtail, rubbish at devil stick, contact, diabolo, but I pretend I know what I'm doing
So please come on in, make yourselves at home! Pull up a beanbag and help yourself to a cookie, there are all types (even for you allergy sufferers/vegans), any questions please please feel free to ask!! (oh and dogs can look up!) |

Hahaha! Welcome my friend! Bout time you appeared on here! :P Glad to have you aboard sir!
Few things you do have to watch out for on here:
Felixwah will undoubtedly sniff in your general direction, Marsh (Ridrequiem) will attack you with hugs and brews, we do frequently drift off topic so serious threads don't stay to serious very long lol!
But if your fine with the above as well as random banter and giggles then you'll be safe here!
Enjoy the forums sir and speak to you soon, if not, see you Wednesday!
-Dae- |

a contact staff trick using the wrist to continually spin a staff by balancing it on a single point using gravity and a figure 8 arm movement to create rotational force sounds silly to me why would anyone want to learn to do that
eplaination and MCP tutorial video
hugs to all  |

it's a spin and a balance, can be used for transitions, various different types of fishtail can create a weave effect (3 or 5 beat if elbows used) important for contact staff if you want to do a spin with NO gripping of the staff in the hands as it can speed up or slow down spin. the contact equivalent to holding a staff  |

| Fishtails are fun (^_^) you can do all sorts of good stuff with them. Like your 360 fishtails and that weird one where you do one but your arm does a full circle and your staff moves with it...can't remember name but looks funky! |
